Customer questions
Do you have different line-up options?
Yes,
Our standard line up is Fiddle, Guitar/ Accordion and foot percussion played by us as a duo.
We can also call and teach ceilidh/ barn dances.
We can extend this line up by adding other musicians with whom we regularly play. (Fiddle, Accordion, Banjo, Flute, Bodhran, Caller, Drums, Bass.) Just let us know what you are after!
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
We always try our best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let us know.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
We care more than happy to play background music through our sound system free of charge in between sets.
We also offer a disco service for after our set, starting from £120.
How much time do you need to set up?
We usually set up about 1 to 1.5 hours before the performance time. As soon as our PA is set up we can provide a free playlist service to help set the atmosphere and get your guests ready for our live performance!
Can you roam around while you perform?
Yes, we can roam around whilst performing but this would need to be an acoustic set.
Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?
Our PA and lighting system is included in your quote.
Can you learn song requests before the event?
If a song isn't included in our song list there we may still know it. If there is a special song you'd like us to learn we are happy to do this for you. There is a fee of £30 for this service to take into account rehearsal times etc.
